GeForce 7300 LE
Following up with their release of the low-end GeForce 7300 GS, NVIDIA is throwing in a new low-end GPU - the GeForce 7300 LE!
Like the GeForce 7600 GS, the new GeForce 7300 LE will be a "lite" version of the GeForce 7300 GS. It will use the same G72 GPU, but with a lower core clock of 450MHz and a lower memory clock of 333MHz.
The card itself can either use an active cooler or a passive one. NVIDIA also has two reference card designs - a full-height card or a low profile card.
Targeted at the X1300 LE, this card will be priced lower than the GeForce 7300 GT at a price range of $49 to $69.
